IT Asset Disposition: Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is IT Asset Disposition (ITAD)?

ITAD is the process of safely and responsibly disposing of obsolete or unwanted IT equipment. Gentium Tech provides secure data destruction, equipment recycling, value recovery, and regulatory compliance services to help businesses manage end-of-life assets.

2. What types of IT equipment can you dispose of?

We handle desktops, laptops, servers, networking equipment, storage arrays, peripherals, mobile devices, monitors, and more. Whether it's a few office PCs or a full data centre decommission, our team can scale to your needs.

3. How do you ensure data is securely destroyed?

We use NIST 800-88 compliant data erasure methods and, where required, physical destruction (such as shredding or degaussing). Every data-bearing asset is tracked and accompanied by a Certificate of Data Destruction for audit trails and compliance.

4. Can you collect and decommission assets from multiple locations?

Yes. Gentium Tech offers nationwide and global logistics support, including secure collection from remote offices, warehouses, or data centres. Our chain-of-custody procedures ensure full visibility and asset traceability throughout the process.

5. Are your ITAD services compliant with data privacy regulations?

Absolutely. We operate under GDPR, WEEE, and ISO 27001 standards to ensure data privacy, environmental safety, and operational integrity. All processes are fully documented and auditable.

6. What environmental standards do you follow?

We recycle or repurpose equipment wherever possible to minimise landfill waste. Gentium Tech adheres to the WEEE Directive and partners only with certified recycling facilities. We support clients in achieving ESG and CSR targets.

7. Do you offer asset resale or value recovery?

Yes. Where viable, we refurbish and resell equipment through certified channels. Clients receive a return on their IT investments while ensuring compliance and sustainability. Full valuation reports and buyback schemes are available.

8. What documentation do I receive for audit and compliance?

You’ll receive a full asset inventory report, Certificates of Data Destruction, and environmental impact reporting. These documents are vital for compliance with internal audits, GDPR, ISO, or financial controls.

9. Can you support large-scale decommissioning projects?

Yes. Whether you’re migrating cloud platforms, relocating, or refreshing your hardware estate, Gentium manages the full lifecycle from asset discovery and data sanitisation to removal and final disposition.
